It shows a alifabs phase four streetworks pole being replaced by a Jupiter phase five streetworks pole and the existing Three Pogona cabinets swapped for a Komodo cabinet. Is this because Three have decided to add 800MHz to an existing 1800MHz site?
Things are being to look increasingly disorganised between Three and EE with some sites being visited up to three times to install separate antennas and equipment for 800/1800/2600.
Edit: Checked other councils and it seems quite a few streetworks are being modified as I thought.

With all networks now using the same street works masts things are going to get confusing.”

Looking at the top link unless I'm getting too tired three were only on the mast via the 3g mbnl part, only EE was present with 4g and the 2g refresh cabinets, all 1800 & 2100 so no need on to rip the masts out for a new one, the most work some masts seem to need for basic EE 4g is the top Antenna section replacing, all streetwork sites which are having 4g added to by three seem to on the plans be having the masts replaced with those used by cornerstone with a similar set up to those in your top link weather they include 800mhz 4g or not. Will be confussing in the long run to work out who's site is who's..

LOL

Now that's worth the admission ticket alone!
Out the three roll out strategies from three, EE and cornerstone, it's clear the three one of doing small upgrades while reserving the majority for a big switch on is total rubbish,
It breeds frustration, disappointment, anger and loss of faith when published dates are missed and ignored (looks like the September 800mhz volte switch on is the next yarn to be spun and subsequently unravel)
But between EE and cornerstone, that's tough call, the EE approach gives you the 4g experience in most places but it's thinly spread and falls short in its depth and range, cornerstone seems to be doing the whole deal but is very is very feast and famine, it's exciting here watching new equipment pop up every few system and weeks with new planning applications coming in all the time, but bloody frustrating if your in an area like the south West where nothing is happening at all much yet.
